These are pin-lock corny kegs, last used for soda, and great for homebrew. They hold pressure and were recently in circulation.
Keg with static pressure relief valve - $35
Keg with manual pressure relief valve - $45
I am in Catonsville. Currently offering pick-up only.
I grew up in a house where we canned out own fruit and jelly, so I have been around mason jars my whole life and love them for a number of reasons:
The lids are easily replacable. I buy one fresh box of rings every year and swap out the older ones that are showing wear. I also keep several...
As a Marylander, I come to Virginia for all of my Bell's (and Founder's) purchases.
After a quick search I found that Mr. Bill's Wine Cellar in Roanoke carries Bell's products. No mention about Two Hearted specifically.
And Blue Five Restaurant has it on tap.
I accidentally put Melanoidin in instead of Carafoam. Will this screw up anything/give me a different flavor/make it taste off?

For a false bottom, I picked up a stainless steel pizza pan (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000CFM7Q/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20) drilled a large hole in the center for the fitting, then drilled 1/8" holes across the entire thing, 1/2" apart. I was inspired by another HBT thread...
Honey can be used during the boil, flame-out, secondary, or bottling time.

I cold brew coffee concentrate in a mason jar and then filter out the grinds. I can make a weeks worth of concentrate at once, keep it in the fridge, and boil a pot of water every morning to dilute for consumption.
I've done several batches of blueberry over the last couple of years, they've all turned out great with no problems fermenting.
What temperature is the must? Perhaps strapping on a brew belt would help it along? Or you could just sit back and wait, it'll get there.
I have a Ferrari floor corked, but one of the metal arms bent. Is there anywhere that will sell parts? Can I replace it with bar stock? if so, what can I use to paint it?
Since you're only treating the water for chlorine, the typical treatment would be 1 tablet (1/8 tsp) per 20 gallons. I would just round your water volume to 10 gallons and call it half of a campden tablet or 1/16 tsp. You could either use a pill cutter from the local drug store, or a micro scale...
That all depends on the brand you are using.
You should be able to get either of those chemicals from a LHBS or online. Check in the wine additives section.
If you are using E.C. Kraus products, then use 1/8 tsp K-meta to replace one Campden Tablet...
Attic temps are not exactly cellar/storage temps. (Not even close.) But I'd still toss one or two in the fridge and give it a go.
Tell us how they held up!
I'm not a super hop-head, so mine would be different. As other people have said, do what you would drink (or what your guests typically drink).
1. IPA/American Pale Ale
2. Wheat of some kind (GF's favorite style)
3. A low IBU Pale/Blonde or a Porter/Stout (Think of this as the seasonal tap)...
